Summary

Once a week Rosie Tipcott counts her blessings. She goes to sit on her favourite bench on the North Devon cliffs and thanks her lucky stars for her wonderful husband, her mischievous young daughters and her house by the sea.

But then her husband unexpectedly leaves her for another woman and takes the children. Now she must ask the question: what is left in her life? Can Rosie find the strength to rebuild herself? More importantly, does she even want to?

Loved it

I only read books or listen to them in bed so, having to go to bed earlier every night to see what happened next means that the book was really good.

ok apart from it finished 30 minutes too soon

a bit of depth to the story (good). you empathise with the characters (good) the last hour of the story is rattled off in 10 minutes (bad) and leaves loads of unanswered questions.

Easy listen

Nice and easy to listen too, not the greatest story line but enjoyable and light. Enjoyed narration and looked forward to picking up where I had left off each time.

Beautiful, moving story, but...

My husband's Wife is great story, but it takes patience and time to get on the way. The middle section is absolutely fantastic. But the final part of the story lacks depth and it feels as if they author had to meet a deadline.
The author who is also the narrator has a very pleasant voice to listen to, but as one can't always identify which character is speaking, the dialogues sometimes get a bit confusing. You sometimes have to rewind th
a recording, for it to make sense.
Having said this, I am going to listen to the author's next book. All in all I found the book intriguing.

Made me smile and sad. Real life scenarios

Loved the fact it was set at Woolacombe. Very easy to listen to and quickly get to know the characters.
I will purchase another Amanda Prowse book, especially if narrated by the author again.
I will remember this book

Wonderful Story

This was my first Amanda Prowse book. At first, I wasn't sure whether I would warm to the characters but it was narrated so well that I found myself crying at points in this book. lovely story and excellent job on the narration Amanda Prowse x

She took me with her

I really felt for the main character Rosie. She was believable and likeable and she took me on the journey with her.
I'd have liked a little more complexity or challenge to my thinking but a nice easy listen.
I was wary to see that the author read the audiobook as think it is a real skill to narrate a book, but she was really professional and skilled.
